I led the end-to-end reorganization and expansion of LegalZoom’s design system, one of the largest legal services platforms in the U.S., with $756 million in annual revenue as of 2025.

The work included a complete token architecture covering primitive and semantic variables, a typography system using two typefaces, and a production-ready component library with 6,000+ variants. Everything was built in Figma using variables, modes, slots, and auto layout.

The system was designed to scale across teams of designers, marketers, and developers, making it easier to maintain consistency and build new experiences efficiently.

Open remark from Melanie and Adrienne:

Working with Sam was a pleasure! He understands the technical elements in Figma really well so he not only turned our design system into an actual robust component library, he also streamlined the variations to simplify the components, recommended new dark mode variations, and clearly documented everything. We would love to work with Sam again in the future!
